    If they don’t want be in the Big 12 they could have declined the invitation.
  • This is an easy answer. Utah did want to follow BYU into the Big12. Simple
  • @howardsmith9342
    Utah has always had an inflated opinion of itself. They really believe they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, and are insufferable to be around when they win. I look forward to more of the same in the B12, and I will be rooting every week for BYU and whoever the Yewts are playing.
  • @Jonus_Grumby
    Utah is the new Texas. Fewer fans, less money, more wins, but more impressed with themselves than they should be. The Big 12 already has Baylor, we don't need someone else to hate.
  • @jadebarben8537
    I saw Utes fans comment all over online about how they hated joining the “Truck Stop 12” conference. Thank you JT for that clarification
  • @sirrobin4394
    No ute feels "lucky" to be in the Big 12. They either think they're the new rulers of the conference, or they are pouting in their safety spaces.
  • @michaelpeck1346
    I’m a Utah fan and I’m excited and grateful we’re in the b12. I think most of us are.
  • @kendalldean9612
    Everyone expects UT to win the B12. My prediction is they won't. Everyone will have their game with UT marked on their calendar. If Cam goes down, so goes the UT season.
  • @schweber10
    They definitely feel jilted and definitely do not want to be in a conference with BYU. Glad Drake stopped this dude as he tried to talk too fast past points he was attempted to make
  • @CarlaJenkinsTV
    6:28 I am glad that Locked on Utes admitted that Utah's Achilles heel is the Big 10 teams. They've lost to Ohio State and Penn State in consecutive Rose Bowls. That's who will be waiting for Utah if they get into the playoffs.
  • @jreidtastic
    I think that the more you talk, the more you try to dismantle the Big XII.
  • I don't see any indication that Utah "hates" being in the Big 12. To the contrary, I think the Ute Fanbase has embraced it.
  • @danhauser3361
    Just settle down Utah and Kansas…who both think you are better and deserving more money …and recognition….time to be a big fish in a smaller pond….settle down…cut the ego and hubris…and remember Provo and Lawrence ..aren’t high on the Media list of top programs….suck it up and become more humble!!
  • @savannahfan
    I think Utah is a great team, I also think they will be mid in the B12 Lots of great teams, Utah has to Prove the hype first
  • @johndurham6735
    Lol seriously though... Why the hell would the Big 10 or SEC ever want a program the likes of Utah? Winning the Pac12 12 twice isn't really saying much. The pac 12 was a crap conference.
  • The Big 10 isn’t looking for the best teams they are looking for the teams who bring in the most money and that means TV revenue and TV markets. Utah is near the bottom of the barrel by those criteria they are lucky they got into the Big 12. Big 12 good? They have been stripped of all their most valuable assets. They will be lucky to get past the first round of the playoffs.
  • @Rick-wx4md
    When Utah wins a National championship, then they can pick and choose expansion choices all that they want to. Just win in the BIG12 1st. Come play with us. And best wishes.
  • @JS-cu3mv
    None of the 4 corner schools wanted to be in the Big 12 lol it’s was their only options, all wanted to stay in the Pac-12 and would jump at the chance if the PAC reforms or the Big 10. The big 12 is a weak league and JV league compared to the Big 10 or SEC.
